A biting allegation brought by the England international Sam Tomkins is being investigated by the Rugby Football League.

The Wigan full-back made the claim against the Castleford hooker, Ryan Hudson, during his side's 40-16 Super League win over the Tigers at the DW Stadium on Friday. The incident was put on report by the referee, George Stoke, and the RFL's match-review panel on Monday requested more information from Tomkins's club before deciding whether to bring any charges.

When asked about the incident in the post-match press conference, the Warriors coach, Shaun Wane, said: "I need to have a look before I make a comment on it. I'd be amazed and disappointed."

Meanwhile, the Hull prop Mark O'Meley and Salford loose forward Stephen Wild will appear before the RFL's disciplinary committee on Tuesday on charges of punching.

O'Meley was sin-binned for his part in the clash during Hull's 34-26 win over the Reds at the KC Stadium on Sunday but both players have been charged with minor grade A offences.

Hull KR's centre Jake Webster has been given a formal caution for striking an opponent during his side's 32-26 win at Widnes.

Meanwhile, Sean Long may be close to making his Super League comeback after the Salford half-back Marc Sneyd picked up a leg injury at Hull at the weekend.

The former St Helens and Great Britain scrum-half, 35, who retired 12 months ago and subsequently joined the Salford coaching staff, was registered by the Reds earlier this month when the club sold Matty Smith to Wigan.

At the time the head coach, Phil Veivers, said he would select Long only in case of an emergency, and that looked to be the case when Sneyd was taken to hospital after the Reds' 34-26 defeat by Hull.

But the 21-year-old Sneyd has been cleared of major injury and has not yet been ruled out of Saturday's game against London Broncos at the Twickenham Stoop.

"We're waiting for him to come in for treatment but I'd say it was just bruising," Veivers said.

"Longy was registered as cover so he'd be playing if Marc Sneyd had broken his leg but we'll ice him up and see how he is.

"I'll be giving Marc as long as possible to prove his fitness."

Long hung up his boots after an injury-hit couple of seasons with Hull but has maintained his fitness and began playing rugby union with National League North 2 side Preston Grasshoppers last season.
